I am a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a strong background in both primary care and mental health. With experience in treating individuals across the lifespan, I focus on delivering compassionate, patient-centered care that addresses both physical and mental health needs.In addition to my primary care expertise, I specialize in addiction treatment, offering evidence-based strategies such as medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and behavioral therapy to help patients overcome substance use disorders. I am passionate about promoting recovery, reducing stigma, and supporting individuals in reclaiming their lives through a holistic, integrated approach to care.Committed to lifelong learning and professional development, I strive to provide comprehensive care that empowers patients to make informed decisions and achieve their health goals.
I believe that everyone is capable of living a life that feels purposeful. Sometimes because of a predisposition to depression or anxiety, losses or traumas endured through life, or the ways we were taught to think about ourselves, that purposeful life can seem like a distant possibility. Through careful psychiatric history taking, medication considerations and supportive therapy, I would like to help you thrive!
With 165+ reviews and a 4.96 rating on Zocdoc, I have specialized in advanced medication management for complex, treatment-resistant conditions. I utilize a neurobiological approach that focuses on frontal lobe/executive functioning, nervous system dysregulation, and neurotransmitter systems to diagnose and treat various concerns - ADHD/executive dysfunction, OCD, trauma/C-PTSD, high-masking autism, personality profiles, and cases where standard medication treatments have failed. While I specialize in clinical complexity, I bring that same deep, careful attention to treating anxiety, depression, and clients starting medication for the first time.
Life can look “fine” on the outside while still feeling overwhelming internally. Hi! I'm Mary and I am a Doctorally prepared nurse practitioner, mom and first responder wife. I have over nine years of experience supporting individuals through life’s most vulnerable moments and as a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, I take a thoughtful, whole-person approach to care.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood symptoms, and cognitive changes, often during periods of high stress or hormonal transition. My approach looks at the full picture including mental health, sleep, metabolism, and overall well-being to develop personalized treatment plans. I combine medication management with practical strategies to help you feel more balanced, focused, and in control.
I'm a board certified psychiatrist. I received my medical degree from Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University and trained in psychiatry at the BIDMC Harvard Psychiatry Residency Training Program. I also completed a one-year fellowship in psychodynamic psychotherapy at Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute.
I practice general adult psychiatry and specialize in women's mental health and reproductive psychiatry, young adult mental health, and LGBT+ mental health.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Cambridge
Finding the right psychiatrist in Cambridge starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and in some cases provide talk therapy. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be the right fit. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available on Headway.
With a large concentration of mental health providers across the Cambridge and greater Boston area, narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, offers virtual appointments, or practices near your part of the city. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.
Psychiatry in Cambridge can be expensive, especially for those paying out of pocket. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans.
